Default RE: how do you preserve legs and/or spurs?

cut the bone off just below the joint,split the ball of the foot about 1/2",slip a stiff wire or screwdriver in and under the leaders.pull them out.run a pipe cleaner into the hole and twist to remove the marrow.pour it full of salt or borax.run a heavy wire down the hole and drive into a board.bend it until the foot is stright and spread toes.after about 3 or 4 weeks the foot will be stiff and cured.

lay felt over the end and use black thread and wrap. "Done".

you can then do as you want.
